Weekly News Roundup (10/31 - 11/6)

[SeidoN]

I like the Cruiserweights but I predict 205 wont do good numbers

 

[M.C.G. 31]

A one-hour, in-ring program called 205 Live, showcasing WWE’s new Cruiserweight division, will premiere Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 10 p.m. ET, exclusively on WWE Network. The live weekly show will be called by Mauro Ranallo, the voice of SmackDown LIVE, and Corey Graves, color commentator for Monday Night Raw.

The **** lmao

 

[Scandale du Jour]

So, I will have to stay up later to watch Talking Smack? I guess I won't watch anymore then.

205 is an interesting idea, though I think the main issue with the divison is that WWE is neutering them from doing their thing in the ring and just pushing the wrong guys imo. Swann and Cedric should be getting the push that Perkins got, Kendrick is alright and they have given him a cool story-line but he seems like the only one whose been handled somewhat correctly. Also think Neville should be involved in the division instead of being relegated to a jobber.

Also like the idea of a Mauro-Graves team as long as we get NXT Graves and not Raw Graves

3 hours of Raw's roster with no Cruiserweights

lord have mercy

 

[M.C.G. 31]

So they're taking them off Raw?

I mean they didnt explicitly say that. but they now have an entire hour of Cruiserweights to fill. id be surprised if they were on Raw as well. maybe though

Why do they keep thinking we want more content?

Cuz WWE has the network now so they are in the business of creating content.

Why does HBO or Netflix think you want more content ? They should just stop making shows.

A network with 1000's of hours of content is more valuable then a network with no new content on it.

So they're taking them off Raw?

CW's should be able to go to any brand but have their base show. So you can see Kendirk on Raw, Alexander on NXT, and TJP on SDL live for some showcase stuff and then the main stories and matches would air on 205.

Also helps pad out the live shows. Split up the CW's and have them on different brands when touring.

They should make their content like Netflix and HBO do: good.

why couldn't that 900th episode be the week after in Ottawa instead? THEN I would have bought tickets.

It hasn't been that long... Lol

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Wait... this new CW show is airing LIVE after Smackdown IN FRONT OF THE SMACKDOWN AUDIENCE? Why didn't they just make the Cruiserweights Smackdown exclusive?

Ughhhh I'm so done with the Undertaker. The nostalgia is gone just retire already. Would rather see Sting again over Taker

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Implying taker had any decision in that whatsoever

Doesn't matter if it was him decision or not its happened too many times when the right thing to do was for Wyatt to go over at Mania, then they had a 2nd chance at last years SS and well, we all know what happened

Cmon, what's one more time?

I hate to toot my own horn (lol just joking i love it) but: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showpost.php?p=121920041&postcount=156

they messed it up the moment they didn't just have ibushi win the classic. debut the belt next week or something. WM should be Ibushi vs Neville or Sami or Gargano, alas.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

IMO, WWE needs a huge influx of talent with all this content. Smackdown is already stale with long feuds that go nowhere. And now they're taking the cruiserweights off RAW? Throw in injuries, and the rosters are real thin.

 

[SeidoN]

Ric Flair on Hell in a Cell Main Event: "They took two huge spots out of the match,...because they were afraid Sasha was going to get hurt. If the original plan had been, there were two things and I don't want to say what they were, but you can only imagine. One of them involved a moonsault."

If Ibushi would sign a contract, they could.

Perkins is great. He's never on TV. There's been multiple weeks where he was barely used and he was debuted after the division despite being champion.

RAW and PPVs should have special showcase matches but 205 should be a good show. More Kota, I would guess too!
